A man and his girlfriend just got married. The husband didn’t talk much but he was a steady man. The wife was pretty and dreamy. Everyone could tell that the love they had for each other was true.
A few months later, the wife came to the husband with a proposal, “I read in a magazine about how we can 36 our marriage. Each of us will write a list of the things that we find a bit 37 with the other. Then, we can place them on the table to discuss how we 38 them together and make our life even happier.”
“Are you sure you are about to do this?” the husband sighed and 39 . So each of them went to a(n) 40 room and thought about the things that annoyed them about the other for the rest of the day.
The next morning, at the breakfast table, they decided that they would go over their 41 .
“I’ll start,” offered his wife eagerly. She 42 her list. It had many items on it, enough to fill 3 pages. She read all three pages to her husband and seemed to be quite pleased with her hard “work”. After hearing that, the husband stated 43 , “I don’t have anything on my list. I think that you are perfect the 44 that you are. I don’t want you to 45 anything for me.”
The wife, touched by his honesty and the depth of his love for and his 46 of her without any conditions, turned her head and wept. At that moment, she came to understand the saying: “Beauty lies in the lover's eyes”.
In life, there are enough time when we are disappointed, depressed and annoyed. We don’t really have to go 47 for them. We have a wonderful world that is full of beauty, light and promise. Why waste time seeking the bad, disappointing or annoying when we can look around us, and see the wonderful things before us? If you are accustomed to judging people, you have no time to love them.

考点:考查人生百味类短文
They say that "seeing is believing", but when it comes to TV commercials, this is not always the case.
The world's leading mobile phone maker, Nokia, released its latest model Lumia 920 on Sept. 5. The smart phone was supposed to possess an advanced camera, which let customers shoot better pictures at night and record stabilized videos. To show how well these features work, the Finnish company released an ad showing a man and a woman riding bicycles side by side, with the man taking a video of the woman on the phone. However, several hours later, technology website The Verge uncovered that the video was neither shot with the new product, nor shot from someone riding a bicycle. Instead, someone in a lorry next to the woman took the video using a professional video camera.
The next day Nokia apologized, "In an effort to demonstrate the benefits of visual image stabilization, we produced a video that simulates(看起来像)what we will be able to deliver." Indeed, what we have seen in ads is more or less a simulation——a practice called "advertising photography".
McDonald's video in June explained the "art". It showed how its burgers get dolled up(装扮)before going on camera. Like models preparing for a magazine cover shoot, burgers also get designed in a photography studio. They are prepared for hours and put together with absolute precision so they look their best before photo shoots. Each ingredient, such as onions and sauce, is carefully put into place to make the burger look much juicier, bigger and tastier. Computer software Photoshop is also used to add visual effects.
So don't feel ____________________when you get a burger that never looks like what you see in ads.
1. What do the underlined words "the case" in Paragraph l refer to? (within 5 words)
2. For what purpose did Nokia create the video? (within 8 words)
